    We came here from a reward system they have with a few other reatraunts including planta queen so the drink was a good price. We just got a cappachino and it was pretty decent. While there was nothing that made it stand out from the rest nothing took away from it either. When you walk in it has a beach theme meaning almost everything is blue. Maybe it was the server stand or the very clear path, but something made it feel very much like a chain coffee shop. While it's a decent spot for a coffee, I dont think it's one I would go out of my way for

    Strawberry Matcha Cloud
    Rowan E.

    I stopped by for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by both the vibe and the food. The matcha drinks were beautifully crafted--one topped with freeze-dried strawberries, the other with shredded coconut. They were creamy, not overly sweet, and had a nice earthy balance. Definitely some of the better matcha I've had locally. The pulled chicken sandwich was hearty and packed with flavor. I loved the mix of textures--juicy chicken, crisp greens, fresh tomatoes, and toasted bread. The side of wedge fries was a standout: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned with flaked salt. Plus, the house ketchup had a nice tang that paired well. Service was casual but attentive, and the space itself had a clean, modern feel that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. Will definitely be coming back to try more off the menu!

    Bluestone Lane is an Australian coffee shop chain with a location in West Windsor/Princeton in the Nassau Park Pavilion. It's been around for several years, but I had never gotten around to visiting since it's in an odd location of a shopping complex that I rarely think of visiting for a meal. Unfortunately, I visited on a Sunday afternoon when they had taped a message up on the door that they didn't have a cook, so their kitchen was closed. Staff looked bewildered, explaining to me and several others that they were short staffed and couldn't serve food, but can do drinks & pastries. I figured I'd order a croissant to try them out, but the cashier refused to accept payment via the Inkind app, saying that all the other Bluestone Lane locations would take it, but they stopped accepting it. The encounter had all the hallmarks or a poorly managed business on the verge of shutting down. After my visit, I reached out to Inkind customer service, which must have followed up with the business and they insisted that Inkind is accepted at the Princeton location, so their employee who refused it was misinformed or just made up her own rules. Regardless, I won't be returning or recommending them to others due to such a poor first impression. There are better options for coffee and quick meal within a few minutes radius.

    Chicken Avocado Toastie

    My iced latte with the banana cold foam was delicious! Also enjoyed the chicken avocado toastie but unfortunately was way too expensive for the portion size. :( I probably will stop by here for a latte again but not for the food because of that.

    Hair spray latte

    A sanctuary for the suburban matriarchy, where MLM queens and yoga-pants-wearing warriors gather to discuss their children's gluten sensitivities while sipping $10 "mindfulness in a cup" matcha lattes that change color based on your chakra alignment. The avocado toast here doesn't just come with a side of pretension, it comes with a full dissertation on the spiritual journey of the avocado from tree to plate, and here's where this bougie fever dream takes a turn into the Twilight Zone: I ordered a latte and it came with a complimentary spritz bottle of hair spray. Not as a mistake. Not as a prank. As if the barista thought, "You know what this oat milk cortado needs? A little Aqua Net for volume." I'm talking actual aerosol hair product, like they confused the espresso machine with a salon chair.The truly maddening part? The hair spray latte was genuinely delicious. It was like discovering your car runs better on maple syrup. So naturally, I returned, desperate to recreate this bizarre caffeinated styling experience, only to receive lattes so aggressively sweet they could put a hummingbird in a diabetic coma and tragically, hair spray-free. Apparently, achieving the perfect balance of espresso and Aussie Scrunch Spray is an art form that cannot be replicated. I'm now stuck in this kafkaesque loop, forever chasing the dragon of that one perfect chemically-enhanced coffee, while surrounded by women named Brynleigh discussing their juice cleanses.

    My stomach could be heard from 10 miles away and as I got hangrier my disgruntled partner and I decided that this was it. So, we stopped by and then proceeded to go to tjmaxx across the street. As the vegan/vegetarian movement grows so does the availability of dishes and that Is great! It brings innovation and a new standard of quality to the table which always intrigues me to try their vegan options. I ordered the chicken bowl but with the vegan chicken. The greens were delicious and the chicken was okay, a bit salty. Although it satisfied the craving. The smoothie was good. It's a smoothie you almost can't eff that up right? Lastly the ambiance was clean and spacious. Would I reallllllly come back for the price? I doubt.

    I was surprised how fast we were seated. It a very cute place. Everyone is very friendly and the food was really good. The size of my drink was REALLY SMALL. But it was really good. That's the only real concern but the quality of the food is good! It also looks great! I would come again.

    Sunshine Burrito

    Very cute place with fun music. I went with my friend to do some computer work. Got coffee and a breakfast burrito it was very yummy!

    Iced Mocha
    Robert M.

    The ambient is nice, you feel welcomed. However, the price of the food is crazy overpriced, especially for the portion size. The coffee was very watery, unfortunately. And the tea was extremely hot (not much of a complaint but the rest is more valid) Wouldn't return, maybe just lower the price of the items especially.

    Is this a latte?
    Roxanne O.

    We came an hour before closing, just to have a bite in between lunch and dinner. We got a grain bowl, a smoothie and a latte. The latte was sad. I wouldn't go for coffee. The smoothie was okay, a little iced, but I liked the addition of mint. The grain bowl was quite good. We swapped out the chicken for vegan chicken, which was salty. The vegetables were perfect, however. I just wish the coffee was better.

    a display case full of food
    Val E.

    I walked in and looked around. I wasn't sure where the menu was or line. Employees stared at me I stared back. One employee on the floor sheepishly mustered up a hello I acknowledged. Then, I walked to the order area. The employee at the order area asked me did I want anything? I said no just looking (I was clearly confused about the ordering process and I found the menu on my own). The employee turned back to their peer and kept chatting. I snapped a photo for yelp and left somberly. The place seems interesting but I just didn't feel inspired to order anything due to the energy towards me :( - this was before Christmas.

    Breakfast Bowl
    Stephanie D.

    Dined in and got a matcha latte and beet latte. The matcha latte is very strong and the beet latte was good but bot a strong flavor. The blate was pretty yummy and the potato wedges were seasoned pretty well. The breakfast bowl also tasted very fresh. The service was also really great and everyone checked in to make sure things were okay. Also really liked the aesthetic of the cafe and glad it opened!

    I visited this location while traveling in New Jersey. We do not have this restaurant in Western…read morePennsylvania. But I have eaten at this chain while traveling in New Jersey several other times. I receive coupons in the email, and just happened to have a five dollar off coupon that expired in a few days, that arrived in my email shortly before my travel occurred, which is why I chose to visit this location. I came on a busy Saturday at about 11:45 and because I was by myself I was able to get the last seat at the counter, otherwise the wait was 35 minutes or more for groups of two or more people. I ordered the kale juice which was kale, apple, lemon & was yummy. I ordered the summer special lobster avocado toast with 2 eggs over easy. The servers & all staff were very busy but pleasant. My meal was good, no complaints & they did have 2 nice chunks of real lobster meat on the thick whole grain toast. The only problem came when I went to use my coupon, they asked for my phone number which I gave them. And then they told me I was not in the system. Then they asked me if I could login on the app in which I told them I didn't know if I had the app because I don't have this restaurant locally and I only eat here maybe once a year but clearly the coupon had come to me in my email, and was due to expire on July 31 and this was July 25. Even though it was only five dollars it was the principle of I would've eaten somewhere else if I could not use this coupon. So although they were busy, I could tell that they were kind of annoyed that they had to go in the back and asked the manager and then there was some big production of having to enter my email and phone number into the app. This all seemed rather ridiculous considering most places if you have a coupon and it doesn't work and it's legitimate they can just take five dollars off your bill at the register not sure why that was not possible? Anyway, in the meantime of them going to the back, I managed to find the app get into it. Enter my phone number and email reset a password and then it showed that my coupon was in the app. Long story short I did get the five dollars off of the meal and then handed a five dollar bill to my server as her tip. This restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch and I believe it closes at 3 PM. It does get very busy weekend mornings. It's similar to a First Watch cafe if you are familiar with those.

    Service and ambiance were on point, but unfortunately food was a bit off.

One of the eggs oozed uncooked egg whites, which you can kinda of see in the picture, but translucent whites were very apparent upon first cut. Potatoes were very salty, likely from heavily salted water. My partner had the cinnamon swirl pancakes and only ate one of three because it was dry and dense. On the flip side, my in laws enjoyed their french toast and waffle. Overall food was very hit or miss, okay for some, but wouldn't go out of my way to brunch here.

It is located in the corner between Lowe's and Trader Joe's, the two anchoring stores in the strip mall. They share a spacious and free parking lot within the strip mall. Normally, I find most Starbucks to be aggressively average, but this location was better than what I've come to expect. I walked in and found a comfortable place to sit. Using their free Wi-Fi, I placed my order through the app and simply waited for my name to be called. While waiting, I took in the ambiance. This location felt warmer and more thoughtfully designed than many others I've visited. Some Starbucks feel like tables and chairs were simply dropped into a sterile space, almost like a hospital cafeteria. Here, there were comfortable chairs with cushions, warm lighting, and clean, inviting aesthetics that made it easy to relax. Here's what I ordered: A) Iced Banana Bread Matcha - 5/5 stars I requested no caramel syrup and substituted soy milk for regular milk. The result was smooth, balanced, and very enjoyable. B) Chocolate Pistachio Loaf - 5/5 stars I asked for it to be warmed. Often when pastries are heated, they can turn rubbery, but this one was beautifully toasted. The warming actually elevated the chocolate and pistachio flavors. The employees were generally pleasant. However, when I asked about a particular mug they had for sale, one employee seemed more absorbed in his electronic device than the customer in front of him. Without really looking up, he simply said, "I don't know." His dismissive manner put me off, so I placed the mug back, said "thank you," and left. Perhaps it was a one-off moment, but that interaction is why this visit earns 4 stars instead of 5.
